Data description (abstract)
The authors propose a unified growth theory to explain demographic empirical regularities. They calibrate the model to match data moments for Sweden in 2000 and around 1800. The simulated data generated by the calibrated model are then compared to the historical time series for Sweden over the period 1750-2000 in order to investigate the fit of long-term development dynamics, as well as to cross-country panel data for the period 1960-2000 to analyze the relevance for cross-sectional patterns of comparative development.
